Jason Brown suggests Cleveland Browns acquire Joe Milton III

Summary

Following the Dallas Cowboys' decision to release quarterback Joe Milton III, coach Jason Brown publicly recommended that the Cleveland Browns sign him. The suggestion included a proposal to release second-year quarterback Shedeur Sanders to make room on the roster. The Browns currently carry four quarterbacks, including Deshaun Watson, Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, and Taylen Green. Despite the recommendation, the Cleveland roster remains set following the preseason. Sanders served in a backup capacity last year and remains on the team behind Watson. Cleveland is scheduled to begin the regular season on September 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
